it pours out a deep red
the nose has complex notes of a sweetness
the flavor is hard to describe. it is complex and smooth but familiar. this beer is perfect for a slow sip. it's definitely not a session beer but it is a must try

Dark, ruby complexion, slightly hazy. Aromas of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and raisiny, fruity esters. Flavors of vanilla, red delicious apples, raisins, caramel, and cinnamon. Big beer with hefty carbonation to balance the rich flavors, and a dry, fruity finish that leaves some appley esters and cinnamon spice lingering on the tongue and throat.
